Play by Sephora!

I love to try different mascaras so much so when I saw this in my bag, I got really excited! I have used this once (since I received this bag) and so far I liked it. I will be using this a ton and review will be shared soonest.

This is in the color Flirting Game– Taupe (15). I rarely use eye pencil but when I do, I always make sure that it’s waterproof because I have such a watery eyes. I haven’t tried this yet but feels soft and glides smoothly when swatched. I cannot wait to put this to the test.

Smells really good at first “sniff” but it’s yet too early to tell. It’s a floral scent (which I am not a fan of). I have not used this yet so I am not sure if this is my kind of scent. There are perfumes that gives me headache after a while so I hope this is not one of those.

This is an eyeshadow in shade Pink Granite (Iridescent). I like eyeshadow colors like this, where you can use it at anytime of the day. This feels soft when swatched but it seemed like there’s fallouts too.

I had to swatch this a little bit harder because the color doesn’t show that much. But that doesn’t mean that this is not a good one as there are some eyeshadows that doesn’t blend nicely when swatched by your fingers but shows beautifully when applied with an eyeshadow brush.

To be honest with you, I don’t get excited when I get products like this. Maybe because I don’t see the need for it yet? But this lifting balm smells amazing so hey! why not try them right? This claims to reduce undereye puffiness which I am all for it.

And that’s it for my August Play by Sephora box! This is a monthly subscription for only $10.00 per month that includes free shipping. This comes in a cute collectible”drawstring” bag that contains five deluxe samples plus a fragrance bonus (total 6 items in one bag).

The Sephora eye liner is really good! I have a bunch including Flirting Game. 🙂
I also have the Make Up For Ever eye shadow in I544 Pink Granite, it’s a beautiful colour and the formula is REALLY long wearing! (in fact, I wore it this weekend!) It isn’t BAM! pigmented like other eye shadows out there – you do have to use a patting motion. Here’s my review on those eye shadows:https://stashmatters.com/2015/02/23/make-up-for-ever-artist-shadows/
(my swatches aren’t great because it was so early in my blogging! *embarrassed*)

Oh great to know!!! That’s what I thought too, I know some shadows doesn’t swatch well but works great when used with the right tool and blended properly. I have been wanting to try the Sephora eyeliner too and now I can finally try it before purchasing one.. And yes I can relate with what you said on the quality of your (early) post. Looking back makes me laugh at it too.. But hey!! That’s how we learn right? 😄😄

I definitely liked that sub for the 2 months that I tried it vs. 2 years worth of ipsy. Crazy I know, but I liked being able to know what brands I was getting each month. Ipsy had a few good ones, but overall I got tired of getting samples that I’d be using less than half of. Might have to look into that Sephora pencil. I had a sample of the Perversion mascara and sadly it smudged every time I used it. Hopefully it’s a different experience for you.

I’ve used the mascara just for a day and so far it was good, I just wished I’ve worn it during a super hot day to test how well it works. And I agree with you on Ipsy now it’s like getting less exciting every month. I had to change my options several times and still kept receiving same crap..haha I am going to keep it maybe until December just because but might have to cancel them later. 🙂

I am no way near the VIB category, Im more on drugstore than Sephora.. Everytime I go to Sephora I end up changing my mind and leave with nothing. Im currently hooked with Nordstrom Rack, been hauling some makeup from them lately. 🙂

go for it, you have to be on the waitlist but I would say it’s worthit. I was on the waitlist just for a month. A friend of mine still on the waitlist and luckily I must have registered two emails so I gave her the other slot. 🙂
